Been thinking about sharing this for a while, and now I think the time's come; here is the "real" Apache that was the inspiration for the character. Originally named "Kolter", Apache is a plush black bear from Jeff Fleming's Bearfoots series (basically like Sam Butcher's Precious Moments, except with black bears/targeted towards outdoorsmen), with a scarf made from some fabric I bought at Hobby Lobby. The scarf's a little rough around the edges, but now you know why I don't make stuff like this often XD

And a little trivia: in the beginning, Apache was actually intended to have a poncho and be a fully bipedal character that basically traveled all over America (said poncho was made from the same fabric as his scarf), but he was eventually simplified to just being a more "realistic" bear, with the scarf being added to make him more distinct.
